I think this area would be great for a new trail

Just the area in general or do you have a corridor in mind?

Where all those apartments are. I'm going to write to the Beltline and recommend this to them

The Beltline plan has a trail plan going through, though it's around the Waterworks (possibly even the west side of the Waterworks).

Heck, I'd just like us to have SIDEWALKS on parts of Howell Mill and 14th street, just as a start.

I'm hoping more and more folks will keep clamoring for better transit connectivity to Westside.

Why not streetcar connecting West Midtown to downtown via Marietta St.?

What about a connection between Piedmont Park and West Midtown via 10th street?

Why not a connection from West Midtown to Arts Center via Atlantic Station?

West Midtown is good.


The real-estate developer-esque "Midtown West" is what sucks.

There are a lot of active railway corridors over there. Norfolk Southern has one yard in that area and CSX has two I think. Most of the existing Beltline has been built along abandoned rail corridors. With so much train traffic in and out of that area there might not be a ton of linear real estate to built a trail on.

Well in the TSPLOST plan there would have been a streetcar connection to the Downtown Streetcar Line via Marietta St with the Cross-Midtown Line that would have ran either North Ave or 10th St. It would be great a streetcar could connect all these routes to Arts Center, via AS and 17th St.
